    Sometimes, out of the blue, random crashes occur. If you think you may know when/why the crashes occur, please post in this thread :) Thank you!

    Currently, all I have to work with is below:

    Can you reproduce the crash? Does it happen at a specific map/time/action, does it happen when you play alone or with more people? You didn't have any of these issues on the test server right?

    Is it crashing a lot? I mean once every couple of hours wouldn't be much of an issue, but once every 20 minutes would :P

    I noticed you are on the server but I changed the server.sh

    ./srcds_run -game left4dead2 -debug -gdb=/usr/bin/gdb +ip 213.247.35.38 +hostport 27015 +map bloodtracks_01 coop &

    That way everything runs through gdb and you may get more detailed information on when the crash occurs.

    You will have to restart everything though:

    su l4duser4
    killall srcds_run && killall srcds_linux
    ./server.sh

    With this it should create a debug.log as well in the ~/left4dead2 directory.

    I also started the server and killed srcds_run so after a crash it won't come back, we can then examine the last command that was executed in the logs.

    Followed this guide as well: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Debugging_under_Linux

    Server should probably be dead slow when debug is on but you'll get more info for sure.

    I'll continue looking into this. The crashes occur randomly; I looked around with erik and nothing we do can replicate the crash. This debug should be very helpful, thanks :)

    No crash but it won't save what you got the last round :(

    That's not the plugin, it's the slave db on that machine. For some reason it stops syncing all the time complaining about a duplicate entry.

    I deleted the slave db, re-created and re-imported it, hope it's fixed now.

    Any chance you could run VI in debug mode for a while? We've had random crashes every 1-3 hours for weeks now. So far I haven't found any way to reproduce the crash. :(
    Just give us a heads up once it's enabled and we'll start testing. I'd appreciate it. =)
